Eternal Thief

With a clouded expression, Ace looked at the wooden chest and sighed helplessly. Despite using all his strength, he still couldn't lift this chest. "I guess I still need that key to move and open this chest. But that key would only work when the owner of that bloodline would use it, and Alina is still not done. Sigh… and here I thought I could give it a try without Alina…" Ace muttered before his eyes turned fierce. "System apprise this chest and the item inside it." He ordered. "[100 Million Thief Points.]"

Ace's eyes widened, "So much? I guess it ought to be expected from this item hidden here by a god. Alright, tell me." =====

=====

Ace's expression sank when he saw the hidden details of the seed of timeless chaos tree and berated, "Are you kidding me? You took a hundred million just to give me this crap?!" "[It's not the system's fault that the host can't upgrade the system, and you can't see the information. Furthermore, this item is extremely special, and there is only one between time and space.]

"[System also would like to recommend not to open this chest; instead, keep it locked once you unlock the bloodline lock on it. Instead, the host could become this treasure chest's owner once the bloodline lock is removed.]

"[The thief's space is not at the level where it could completely hide the Seed of Timeless Chaos Tree yet. If you take it out, only misfortune awaits you.]"

Ace was startled hearing this unexpected response, and his expression turned serious, "Just what is this Seed of Timeless Chaos Tree that even you can't handle?"

He never expected that even the thief's space was inferior to this chest and this seed could cause so much trouble by just taking it out. Now, he was extremely curious how the Sun and Moon God was able to get his hands on this seed and where he found it. Maybe his disappearance was also connected to it. "[Please upgrade the system to a precise level to see the usage of this item. All the system can tell you is that even after you upgrade the system again, you might not be able to see the details of this item. But it's very useful for the host in the future.]

"[Right now, the host can move this chest by covering it with your Dismantle Qi, for it would directly cut off the connection of this chest with this space and then store it in the thief's space. This is all the system can help you with.]"

Ace was even more shocked, "So you're saying this item is helpful to me in the future but not currently even after I ascend?" "[Yes.]"

Ace inhale sharply, "Can you please tell me what else Dismantle Qi could do besides dismantling items and hiding from heaven? I had my doubts since Heaven's Stealer Dismantler Gloves were clearly not just made for dismantling items, right?" The more Ace understood the Heaven's Stealer Dismantler Principles, the more shocked he became because they were simply too magical and heaven-defying, and he was at the peak of right now. Yet they didn't have any attacking power, which didn't go well with their properties. The part about how Qi could hide from heaven was revealed by the system when he triggered heaven's stealer mission, and now the system revealed another property of this unique Qi. It can also break the connection of an item that a God sets up despite having not effect on the treasure yet. So, his doubts about its true properties were many and justifiable. "[System had long told the host that the Heaven's Stealer Dismantler Gloves can dismantle anything and everything, and to dismantle something, their connection would naturally be separated as well. The host just didn't pay attention enough.]"

Ace grunted unhappily, "Are you saying I'm an idiot?" "[Those are host words, not system's!]"

Ace had dark lines on his forehead and decided to drop this matter since it was akin to throwing an egg on a steel wall. Nonetheless, he already has a solution to his current predicament, and he can now take this chest away without having to wait on Alina. He knew he needed to search for the Mortal Sky Heart Empire, and once he was done with it, he might not have another chance to come back. That's why he wanted to get it over with. Without further ado, the inky Dismantle Qi gushed out from his hands, and it began to cover the wooden chest. The moment it fully covered it, the entire space quacked. Ace was startled and quickly tried to pick up the chest, and this time, he effortlessly lifted it and quickly stowed it away in the thief's space corner. The next moment, the entire space began to crumble down, and another portal appeared right where the chest was, and without hesitation, Ace quickly entered it. Just as the portal vanished, a feeble voice rang before it vanished with the dying space, "Hehehe… it seemed my preparations were successful…" --- Ace, at this moment, walked out from the portal and appeared in the middle of a forest. However, his eyes suddenly widened as he took a step backward because in front of him stood a bony man with an exposed torso and his face completely hidden by dirty dreadlocks. He was holding a bronze bowl with both of his hands in front of him like a beggar. But Ace didn't even think for a second that this was just a beggar because he couldn't even sense his presence despite standing right in front of him, and for some reason, his instincts were raising the alarm. The beggar suddenly raised his bronze bowl in front of Ace, and his pitiful voice sounded as he begged, "O' Lord Immortal, please have pity on this little thrall and grace me with your benevolence!"
